Phenomenal Curb Appeal is Vital
Looking at anywhere from a supply of homes ranging from six months to four years - depending on where you are in the country - getting the curb appeal right is vitally important if you want to sell in a reasonable amount of time and for a good price. When your curb appeal is lacking, buyers tend to think that the rest of the house isn’t cared for properly.
According to Realtor.org, exterior remodeling has the best return when selling,
On a national level, wood deck additions and all types of siding replacements – upscale fiber cement, midrange vinyl, and upscale foam-backed vinyl – returned more than 80 percent of project costs upon resale. Of these, the most profitable project was upscale fiber cement siding, which recouped 86.7 percent of costs, followed by wood decks at 81.8 percent, midrange vinyl siding at 80.7 percent, and upscale foam-backed vinyl siding at 80.4 percent.
When we sold our last home, we’d rebuilt our deck. The ugly wood became a two-tiered design featuring octagon shapes and a wood swing. Almost six years later, we are convinced the deck is what sold the house in the first two weeks it was listed. That type of curb appeal truly draws buyers.
I found these active listings on my local MLS whose curb appeal is fantastic. What do you think?
